Tebowing at home

Tim Tebow’s influence may be expanding to the field of education.
State lawmakers in Virginia are considering legislation that would allow students who are homeschooled to play on the athletic teams of their local schools, the Washington Post reports.
The three bills being considered are patterned after a 1996 Florida law, known as the “Tim Tebow law,” which opened the locker-room door for the conspicuously talented – and homeschooled – young man to play for schools in his home state.
Students who are homeschooled have been able to play for Colorado schools for some time. But in Virginia, the idea has been controversial. Similar bills have been floated three times in the past, and each time they’ve gone down in defeat, according to the Post. But this time, Gov. Bob McDonnell is behind the initiative and has a Republican-dominated senate on his team.
And if that’s not enough, they can always try Tebowing.
